Light travels as a wave. But unlike sound waves or water waves, it does not need any matter or material to carry its energy along. This means that light can travel through a vacuum—a completely airless space.

light travels as partials and energy.

it is see by the naked eye as colors but impossible to see as its actual color without the help of other objects in the way. we see the color of light as a rainbow, violet on top, and red on bottom.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Waves; wavelength; electromagnetic energy; ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases.

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

Hence, sound and light are both found as waves, with a variety of wavelength. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type of electromagnetic energy. It can be found as UVA or UVB types. These lights give off different levels of ultraviolet light, some of wich can be harmful.

Additionally, the ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three categories and these are; UVA, UVB and UVC.

A horizontal sheet of negative charge has a uniform electric field E = 3000N/C. Calculate the electric potential at a point 0.7m

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Electric potential, E = 2100 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field, E = 3000 N/C

We need to find the electric potential at a point 0.7 m above the surface, d = 0.7 m

The electric potential is given by :

$V=E\times d$

$V=3000\ N/C\times 0.7\ m$

V = 2100 volts

So, the electric potential at a point 0.7 m above the surface is 2100 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

The maximum wavelength that an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject electrons from a metal surface is 459 nm. What is t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

2.7067 eV

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$\lambda_0$ = Threshold wavelength = 459 nm

Work function is given by

$W_0=\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}\\\Rightarrow W_0=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{459\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow W_0=4.33072\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Converting to eV

$1\ J=\frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV$

$4.33072\times 10^{-19}\ J=4.33072\times 10^{-19}\times \frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV=2.7067\ eV$

The work function W0 of this metal is 2.7067 eV

What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

aivan3 [116]

A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h. No rounding is necessary.
